[ Special Telegram. ] The secret of the widespread cbarackr of tlio piescnt labor doublet ) Is authoritatively ex plained , hcio to-day. Persistent Investiga tion lias resulted In discovering tliat nil of tlio I'xlstlng mnnnnoth strikes and tlto agcrcswc course just Inaugurated aio the icsiiri of cer tain exceedingly confidential committees recently - cently sent out by tlio national c.\ecull\o com mittee of tlio Knights of Labor , Instructing nil district assemblies that had the smallest or most trival grievance that had not been presented for adjustment to press the sumo to an Immediate settlement Irrespective ot the desires of the local assemblies. Tlio ex act object of this general upheaval from Now York to the Gulf of Mexico was not explicitly set forth In these ordeis , but It was Intiumtpd thcicln that the tlmohad arrived for the organization to make Itself felt from ono end of the country to the other. It was further stated that this gen- cial movement \sas to prove remedial only In cases of ordinary grievances and for the achievement of such liluher wages ns inlirht ordinarily be demanded In such cases. Tlio clicular vaguely hinted that no extraordi Jt nary demands should bo made at this time , as the order'of knights had In view plans for a general advance of wages of ovciy dcscrip- tlon at a future day and other demands of an extraordinary character. These secret in structions to the ofllclals furnish the key to the troubles on the ( jould system as well ns those In Chicago and elsewhere. It Is the general opinion In this city that It will bo miraculous If bloodshed and riot do not closely follow in the wako of this mighty upheaval. * ON THE GOULD SYSTKM. Three Thousand Out , AVIth n Clmnco for Nine Tlioutmiid. S r. Louis , March 0. All Knights of Labor , to the number of 100 , employed by the Gould system , werrt out hero this morning , and It is understood that all the Knights upon the entire system will follow their example this evening. Advices from Scdalla , where the headquar ters of the Knights of Labor , District Assem bly .No. 101 , are located , are to the effect that 700 of tire Gould employes nt that place "have gone out , and this will confirm the expecta tion that the strike would become general. Ofllecrs of the Missouri Pacllla railroad mo reticent and positively decline to make any statement , further than that they do not an ticipate n possibility of supplying the places of the strikers. At 10 o'clock this morning nn on'o rwas issued by the cxccutl\o board of the Knights ol Labor , District Assembly No. 101 , In ses sion at Marshall , Texas , ordering a strike of machine shopmen employed on the Missouri Pacific or Gould southwestern system of lalhoads. Irr compliance \\ltli thn order the men struck at Scdalln , DcSoto and St. Louis , and It Is expected that like action will fol low nt various other points. Seven hun dred men quit work at the Scdalia shops , ! MO at the works at DeSoto , and between 200 and COO at the shops Irr this city. The limning force of the Gould system , Including shopmen , trackmen and train men , Is Ifl.OOO. Of thcso l > ,000 are claimed to be Knights of Labor , but up to this afternoon only those employed irr the machine shops had struck. Ills estimated that at the pres ent tlmo Irom 2,600 to 3,000 men havogono out , but it is thought piobablo that if the managers do not accede promptly to the de mands ot the strikers all remaining Knights on the system will bo ordered out. The cause of the strike has been very dlfllcult to cct at , but the following statement Is as com prehensive and perhaps accmalo as has yet been rnado : On the 17th of last month District Assem bly 101 of the Knights of Labor had a general buslnes'-Icnrrventloir ntMarshaU/l'ex. Among the delegates to that meeting was C. A. Hall , Inicmarruf woodworkers ol tlio Texas Pa cific car shops at Marshall , lie hail secured , UK alleged , le.i\o of absence for tlio purpose of attending the convention from his imme diate superior , J. A. Crosby , master ear builder. This permission , It is said , was wit nessed by J. J. MeGeaiy ot St. Louis and John Thornburg of De Soto , Mo. , visiting knights. The eornoutlorr , with Mr. Hall as n delegate , sat four davy , and on the 30tlr ndjourrrrd. At noon err that day JIall re- burned work as usual. Orr quitting his duty In tire evening ho received n nuto from Cosby stating that his sen Ices were no lunger requited , and , It Is said , assigning as the cause lor his discharge tint ho had been absent from his business w Ithout leave. The local grievance commlttei ) of the Knights at once considered tlio matter. Jlls reinstate ment was demanded , and cither retried or neglected. A strlUo was tlrinr ordeied bv tills local committee , and upuir tlio falhnoof the men to obey the order , : ) meeting ot the executive buaid ot knights was. called. The c.xcuitlvo hoard ratified tlio action of the local committee and issued n gcuoral order , upon wliii-h the men null work nt Koit Worth , MmMmll and Dallas. This action ot ) ho oMTiilUo board , It Is claimed , \\iis not so much In tlio inteiet of tlio man Hall as the htrlkti for liiu pilrreiplo Involved. Oniijuar ago tliero was an agreement iniulu between the Knights and the managers ot the i-jbti'm that no man bhoiild bo dlscliiuucd without due notice and Investigation. This contract , the Knights contend , ha- , been vie lated in tills Instance of Hall's discharge.

StockR Lethargic , But BondsIGrowing Active Dressed Beef Shipments. Nnw YoriK , Mnrch 7. [ Special Telegram. ] Clearly the market for stocks does rrot show the buoyancy which It exhibited last midsummer , or during tlio months of October nrrd November. Nothing that has happened during the week has wrought much change in the character of stock exchange specula tion , which Is very much of n local nnd pro fessional nature. Largo holders of stocks appear as buyers whenever the declining movement looks at all threatening , nnd un doubtedly reduce the price of their holdings on each advance. In a word , the market Is still largely a waiting ono so far as an nxtcn- slvo movement is concerned. The market for railway bonds Is broad arrd active , with prices ns a rule tending higher. Low-priced issues nrc tire favorites , nrrd tlio trading in sorrro of thorn has ccn unusually heavy. Bonds that are likely to ] i ay interest in the near luturo , arrd thosethat are to bo benefit ed by reorganization schemes , have been in good demand at advanced prices. Dealings In government bcnrds during the week have been unusually large ! arrd at the highest prices recordctl for sonpe1ssuos , notably 4 per cerrts. The ndvarfce has invited sorrre realiz ing , principally , it ie said , by bankers. The work of perfecting the details of the Heading syndicate appears to bo going on steadily. Progress isslow , owing t o tire mag nitude of the task , jtn the end it is not be lieved much difficulty w 111 arise in complet ing the deal , for tire reasorr that all the new securities will be sold to the holders of the old ones. The managers of tlio syrrdlcnto will simply stick thosomcn who were already stuck. Herein Is the secret of the so-called reorganization. Carl Schurz Is havlmr n very good tiring in looking after the interests of German bondholders in this arrd that re organizing scheme. To reorganize means simply to compel the bondholders to accept n rate ol rntercst below tlio original corrtract. Commissioner Fink sends to Uradstrcets complete statistics of tlio movement of cattle arrd dressed beet eastward from Chicago by the trunk lines tor the last six years. It Is the onjy satisfactory statement of the sort I have seen. It Is noticeable that , taking tlio whole field together ? the dressed beef move ment Is now about equal to tlio shipments of cattle err the hoof. Development of the trade irr New York has been much slower than elsewhere. In the Now England states , octsldo of Boston , tire cattle business Is quite at an end. llcgardlng the situation irr Balti more , n correspondent there writes : "In quiry shows that the western dressed beef Industry has decreased homo slaughter nt Baltimore In the nast flvo joars about one- half.

Until recently It had been under stood that ho was engaged to the young daughter of n prominent resident of Wood ward nverruo. A few weeks ago ho gave up tlm ministry , telling his friends that ho was going to New Vork to attend to some eastern business ot his prosjtcctlvo fntlici-in-lavv. Mrs. Mabley had preceded him arrd they were quietly married In the metropolis by Uov. J. B. Drjsdalo. Mrs. Mabloy Is very rich , Spelrs is poor , bho was rrot a regular at tendant at his church , but licrchlldierr were. Though not so jcutliful as her rivals , Mrs. Mnbldy possessed marry claims which they did not. They finally so Lew Itched the young dlvlno that ho threw up Ids pastorate nnd followed his love to New York. None of Mrs. Mabloy's children know of tha nrnr- rlago till this evening. .

' HOME MULE MATERIALIZING. A Declaratory llcsolution Favorlnjj the Sclrcmo the First Pnrllnniciit- nry Step Tire Land Question General Foreign Notes. Politics in Oront Itrltnln. LONDON , Mtrch 7. [ Special Cablegram , ! Lord llnrtlngtorr nnd Sir Henry James liavo disappointed the whlgsnrrd torles alike. Their .speeches II o inst week hnvo been ex pected with eager Interest in the belllef tlrey would consent to head the opposition to Gladstone. Dotlulccllno point blank. Neither will attempt to construct a cave , llnrt lngtorr would not discuss projects yet to ho revealed , but exhibited n drcnd of linnro rule a mistrust of Gladstone. It Is clear , liowover , ho cannot sunder old ties since ho ruado n vigorous onslaught err the torles for their treatment of the Irish question , niul de sired to exculpate Gladstone. Ho rejects nil Invitations to join Lord Salisbury , and will not lead an Independent movement. The week has been trill of rumors of cabinet schemes and consequent resignations. Many declnro the government will collapse next week , but this Is not tlio opin ion of tlio cabinet themselves. Chamberlain however , Is jet to bo reckoned with. It ap pears Gladstone has definitely decided err a sweeping measure of homo rule. This fa vors tlionollon that ho leans to Morley rather than to Chamberlain , nrrd hence tlrero Is n prospect of n difficulty. But the fact Is neither has greatly Influenced him. Helms his own stronir views and has tlraftpd whatever there Is with the help of Lord Spencer and Sir llob- ert Hamilton , consequently tire scheme Is snro to bo thorough , but Immediate legisla tion is unlikely. The probability Is tlmt a dcclnr-atory resolution In favor of giving nn Independent parliament to Ireland will bo proposed. It the government keeps to gether the resolution will bo carried and leg islation postponed till next year. Meanwhile the land question may bo tackled. Gladstorro does not sec his way to the Giffcns plan of wholesale appropria tion. To add 5200,000,000 to the debt Is ex tremely repugnant to his financial concep tions , even If the country would stand the enormous yearly charge Involved , which is very doubtful. This Istho pu//.Io of tire Irish question to the liberals when they think of their constituents. It Gladstone can satisfy them hero ho will get his majority irr the commons In splto of Chamberlain's opposi tion. If that should como about , Jesse Colllngs declares Chamberlain will never consent to nn Irish parllnmcnt. This shows Chamberlain is still cherishing the scheme of national councils , altogether exploded. Parliamentary incidents nre few , but im portant. Labouelrcra's motion for abolition of Irerlditary peerage was rejected by 30 votes only In n house of nearly 400 members this , too , after a hostile speech from Gladstone. The premier admitted that a largo reform of the house of lords was Inevitable , but asserted this would not happen In his time , and pleaded Ir at when it should bo undertaken the hereditary principle should bo preserved. Ho also suggested inclusion of tlio bishops , showing his old tenderness for the ecclesias tical profession. The radicals and Parrrcll- Ites coalesced in tire division. The Irish debate on Thursday Avns notnble , mainly for the utter foolishness of the tory tactics and for Lord Randolph Churchill's confession , which tire country now has from his own lips , that ho had thought it was possible for the torles to co operate with the Irish party. That confes sion does much damage to his political judg ment also , as much ns to his Mnnchester pro posal tor a union of tire Kngllsh members against the Scotch radicals and Irish sep aratists. Francois again hostile In Egypt. Its rep resentative at Cairo Is secretly basking In Mouktar Paslra's idiotic scheme for reorgarr- i/ation of the native-army. This would dis turb the budget and throw Englnnd back into all the old lUllicuUie-i ol two j ears ago. Debating. Hif ninrclt's Spirit HIM. BKUUX , March 7.

[ Spzclnl Telo- grarn.1 Presldcrrt Cleveland , it Is reported to-night , very much regrets having gone to Albany for n ninu to fiiicoecd Fred Douglas.s as recorder of deeds ior ( Ids district after promising the position to the locul democracy. It Is said hu so much legrcts the mistake , which ho finds to have been quite serious , that ho would recall the appointment vvcro It rrot ho considers 'the high character ot Matthews , the appointee. The entlto local piessslinrply criticises the appointment , and without exception uilvKc Its withdrawal. It Is universally pronounced n purely political move , and one Intended to have a bearing upon tlio nomination in 1SSS. A coed deal of lultatlorr Is taking place among mechanics and builders over the an nouncement tlmt the Kulghls of Labor of this district will demand that the eight-hour rule go Into eiTcct err May 1 next. It Is gen erally believed that It will liavo n depressing effect upon runny proposed building nnd man ufacturing enterprises. It Is already having a heavy bearing upon the building trade. Some builders arc refusing orders from prop erty ovvrrcrs , and are advising them to post pone building operations until another year , telling them that they then will bo able to put up now buildings much cheaper than they can do It this year. Should , the journeymen carry out the plans which they have formed , and of which they hnvo given notice , the consequences will bo fnr reaching nnd will have material influence upon the business Interests of Washington during the coming year.

[ Special. ] The debate err tlio pension bill which took such n decidedly political turn in the house , devel oped one fact which It would be dlfllcult to make one out of ten people believe. That was the fact that theio is a marked nnd radi cal difference between the temperament ot republicans as a class. This strange phe nomenon was very emphatically portrayed In this case , nnd nnvonovvho followed tire debate - bate would have to admit that the republicans won more by their good nature than they lost irr the argument. Whenever Mr. Matson scored n point against tlio ndnrlnlstrntlon of the pension office ( luring the campaign o 1SS-1 anU It must bo admitted that he did this qulto otten ho received fully ns much applause Irom his republican opponents ns he Old from his party associates.

Ing the ceilings ring. The power to appre ciate a good polrrt oven when rnado ngnlnst them , Is ono ot tire secrets ot tire success of the minority party in the present house Irr turning the tables upon their adversaries. The debate on the pension bill afforded the Hist opportunity tor a lively polltrcal discus sion of the session , and neither party was blow to embrace tlio chance afforded.
